Photos: Miguel Cabrera Wins First Triple Crown Since ’67

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Tigers slugger Miguel Cabrera became the first player in 45 years to win baseball’s Triple Crown on Wednesday night, joining an elite list that includes Mickey Mantle, Ted Williams and Lou Gehrig.

He finished the regular season with a .330 average, four points better the Angels’ Mike Trout, his biggest competition for MVP.
Cabrera was the runaway leader with 139 RBIs.

Boston’s Carl Yastrzemski was the previous player to achieve the Triple Crown in 1967.
